Updating an image file in OMEGA

A PLT file maintains a cartoon or thumbnail representation of each image object in the file. This
thumbnail is based upon a source image file and is used for display purposes only. A thumbnail
is created for an image object when the image is imported or opened into a Composer
document. Composer will automatically regenerate a thumbnail if the non-embedded source
image has been changed by way of the Edit Image command or if a new setting has been
specified for that image in the Image Fill dialog box.
A non-embedded image source file may also be modified outside of Composer, for example
using Adobe PhotoShop or Microsoft Paint. Composer would be unaware of this change. In
these cases, use the Refresh Image command to regenerate the thumbnail for the image object,
providing a more accurate image object in Composer.
Note: Refresh Image is not available for embedded images.
If you change the source image file dimensionally from the time it was placed in Composer you
need to re-import the image to accurately reflect the new size. When you re-import the image,
modifications to the image object that were done in Composer (such as cropping, rotating or
scaling) are removed. You must reapply Composer changes after the image is imported.
The Image Path of the source file shown in the Image Fill dialog box must be accurate. The
Refresh Image command looks for the linked image file in this location. The image cannot be
updated if Composer cannot find the file.
Tip: To view or modify the Image path of the imported image, open the Image Fill dialog box and
click Info>> to display the imported information.
